  1. petty worked the breeze to perfection
  2. imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder
  3. i still don't think he should be playing
  4. miss his handball to jvr for a goal? he's stopped his man rebounding from defence too
  5. peter jackson didn't think so - at least not yet
  6. pert always presents well in the media he knows how to massage the narrative - be at at the mfc, the cfc, or sca but there's a difference between massaging the narrative and managing the circumstances that have led to it
  7. ...made sense given their form in the back half of this season...
  8. didn't he just sign a contract extension?
  9. fify i thought the grundy acquisition was a risk, but a risk worth taking - another example of the club not being prepared to simply sit back and NOT try something different they way i see it, we effectively had him as a 'loan' for a year it was a risk, it didn't work move on
  10. crazy that flagmantle, baggers, peptides are all fighting for the last spot in the 8
  11. whatwhat say what replied to Romey's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    function and events facilities is seemingly a big part of this pitch too
  12. so far they've gone for ollie wines and jack viney i would imagine luke parker is very much in consideration as well
  13. you forgot... 1. is goodwin the right guy? ii. is roffey the right gal? c) is pert a stooge inserted into our club by eddie?
  14. huge blow imo three heart-and-soul players lost in the space of a year brutal
  15. i didn't, but fortunately, there's google... riposte:
  16. it sounds like stafford, at least, will go as a result of being out of contract mcqualter and chaplin both contracted for 2025
  17. fortunately, you can walk and chew gum at the same time
  18. loss to flagmantle in the alice into king's birthday no teams gets dismantled like we did that day and then show such a lack of desire in a big game like king's birthday, compounded by losing our best / second best player, and is likely to play finals i thought our start to the year was very encouraging, given the off-season, but we completely came to a halt mid-year
  19. there's a difference between evidential data and 'the vibe' the former has pickett tracking to be one of the best small forwards since aaron davey reinvented the position - better than stephen milne and eddie betts, and comparable with charlie cameron and cyril rioli 'the vibe' has it that we want to see so much more from him as an output basis and also from a consistency data output from game to game rather than highs and lows from game to game, let alone quarter to quarter i think both @BLWNBA and @Norm Smith's Curse can be generally speaking 'correct' in their positions i think pickett is a helluva player - much like davey, his high level output will ultimately see him transitioning beyond being 'only' one of the best small forwards of his era

    sparrow
  21. so in terms of replacing his high half-forward / gut running wing / occasional midfielder role, do we all just presume it's tom sparrow who'll have to step into the breach to allow trac to rotate forward as a 'weapon' i50? i query whether sparrow is up to doing the job as well as nibbs
  22. it's really upsetting to lose a player of his ilk in his prime he's worth far more to us than what we will receive for him really irritating
  23. the problem with will brodie and deven robertson and players like that is that they don't have an particular weapons or traits that make them a standout player they're the harmes / dunstan type depth players at good sides for a reason, and i don't think they'll particularly stand out in poorer sides i'd rather a ben keays type, which is ironic that anb is linked to the crom, as keays plays a very similar role to him there
  24. pretty much my thought too there's a big difference between our first round pick + future 1st when the current year's component is 6 vs when it's 13
  25. Houston is a significantly superior player to Cummings
